This project focuses on identifying the neural and computational basis = of auditory-object perception in Old World monkeys. The work combines audit= ory psychophysics, large-scale neuronal recordings, and computational theory= . Candidates are expected to have a PhD (or equivalent) related to neuroscie= nce, engineering, physics, psychology, or similar disciplines. Candidates wi= th backgrounds in computational theory are especially encouraged to apply. P= referred candidates will have experience in training Old World monkeys on be= havioral tasks, recording neuronal activity while monkeys are engaged in beh= avior, and using computational approaches to analyze the data. The intellec= tual environment of the University of Pennsylvania is outstanding for comput= ational auditory neuroscience. The Hearing=E2=80=8BSciences Center, which is direc= ted by Cohen, is a multi-investigator group that identifies neuronal correla= tes of hearing and communication at multiple scales of interrogation, using = state-of-the-art computational and causal techniques. The Computational Neur= oscience Initiative, which is directed by Balasubramanian, gathers together = the Penn faculty who are fundamentally interested in systems and computation= al approaches to neuroscience. The CNI is the central home for research in t= heoretical and computational neuroscience at Penn. Candidates will have acce= ss and mentorship from faculty in both the Hearing Sciences Center and the C= omputational Neuroscience Initiative. =E2=80=8BThis will be a full-time, 12-month = renewable appointment. Salary will be commensurate with experience and consi= stent with NIH NRSA stipends. We anticipate a Fall 2019 start date.
